The unit works by being positioned onto a smartphone in either landscape or portrait mode and will go to work offering access to two joysticks as well as a series of 12 buttons. The telescoping design of the controller means it can be added onto a wide array of devices to add in physical controls when the touchscreen might not be desired for a more tactile experience.
